Army veteran also left signs calling the new US President 'a disgrace to America'

Police 'cannot act because the homeowner has a right to freedom of speech'

An army veteran has displayed an effigy of Donald Trump hanging by a noose outside his home in Indiana.

The life-sized doll, which is holding a Soviet flag, was left in a tree at Mike Cunningham's home in Oakdale, Fort Wayne along with signs calling the President a 'disgrace to America'.

A local neighbourhood group says the controversial protest 'crossed a line' - but police say the display is legal since the homeowner has a right to free speech.
